Metals Creek Resources Corp. announced a new gold discovery while mechanical surface trenching 275m southwest of Main Zone on the Shabaqua Corners Gold Property. The property is located within the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt, approximately 54 km west of Thunder Bay, Ontario near Shabaqua Corners and on trend to Delta Resources Delta 1 project.

The property has seen very little exploration work. Prospecting activities during the summer and fall highlighted an area of anomalous gold values outside of the main gold bearing trend with gold assays ranging from 102 parts per billion (ppb) to 1300ppb from 5 grab samples. Subsequent mechanical surface trenching resulted in the discovery of high grade gold mineralization with 7 grab samples retuning up to 13.1 grams per tonne (g/t) Au 275m southwest of Main Zone.

This new discovery called the Anomalous Zone (AZ) represents a new target area outside of the Main Zone and Echo Zone gold trends. Mineralization is hosted within carb altered mafic volcanics with associated quartz-carbonate stringers and stockwork and 0.25 to 1% disseminated pyrite. A second prospective area also discovered through prospecting located 260m southeast of Anomalous Zone returned assays ranging from 23 ppb to 1001 ppb from 5 samples.

This second new zone of mineralization is hosted within a jasperitic iron formation with associated quartz stringers and 5- 6% disseminated and stringer pyrite. The discovery of these new zones of gold mineralization with associated alteration halo's outside of the main gold trends adds to the exploration potential of the Shabqua Corners Gold Property. Multiple pervasive carb altered systems remain to be evaluated outside of the main gold trend with associated untested gold in soil anomalies as well as multiple untested gold in soil anomalies with associated pathfinder elements that remain untested due to extensive overburden.

The eastern boundary of the property is located 1.57 kilometers(km) west of Delta Resources (DLTA) drill hole DL-22-18 which returned an intercept of 5.92 g/t Au over 31m. Trenching conducted on Delta's ground 390m east of the property boundary, returned an interval of 2.22 g/t Au over 8m. All samples were sent to Activation Laboratories.

The precious metals were analyzed utilizing a standard fire assay with an atomic absorption finish. Samples with fire assay results above 1.0 g/t gold are reanalyzed using a gravimetric finish and samples with fire assay results above 5.0 g/t gold or samples showing visible gold are analyzed using the pulp metallic method.
